the worst earthquake I've experienced was in Algeria in '81, when I was a baby and my mother holding a cupboard so that it wouldn't fall on me. How nice of her, isn't it?
And we just had an earthquake!!!

Well, I live in San Francisco, but I was born about a year after the '89 earthquake. We've only had really small ones since then. When I was about six I remember something falling off of my dresser. And my cat goes crazy before one starts.

as a Los Angeles native (where the apocalypse shall strike first) i do say that earthquakes are pretty cool, esp smaller ones. bigger ones (such as the 6.6 northridge earthquake in '93 where a couple freeway overpasses fell down) are scary as hell, esp when they wake you up and you dont know whats going on and its dark. Also, i live in a 2 story wooden house, so it sways a bit, magnifying the effect on the top floor.
i think it would be very difficult to imagine for someone who has never been thru one... A few times there have been 3.x earthquakes at home while i'm sleeping and i say "mehhh, was that another earthquake?" and my dad down the hall laughs and says "yeah" and i roll over and go back to sleep.
think ive lived here too long.
as lewis black says, 'when the earth does that, mother nature's trying to tell you a little something. MOVE. Because where i come from.. the ground dun' shaketh!'
edit: yeah, the cats always know, pretty eerie + cool. You were born in 1990? you're 14? damn, i wish i knew about good music (ie aa) when i was yer age.

Let me die in solitude...
I lived in LA for about 2 years, and San Diego for the last 4, and have felt quite number. The scariest one was in the desert in 99, and it hit the edge of the Pasadena, CA, area where I was living. Knocked my guitars over, my books off my shelf and broke a window. SCared the piss out of me. In 2002 in the school dorms here in San Diego we had one that made the whole building rock. Eeryone grabbed the wall and got quiet. That one was fun though.
